Scientists used IBM's R2 Heron quantum processor to predict the secondary protein structure of a 60-nucleotide-long mRNA ...

A single DNA nucleotide, the base unit of the human genome, is a tiny, tiny thing. Each one is made up of only 30 atoms (plus or minus a few, depending on the base), making it much too small to be ...

Nucleotide sequences (nearest-neighbor analysis). The strongest evidence that the newly synthesized DNA is a faithful copy of the nucleotide sequence of the original priming DNA has come from the ...

That notion that DNA sequence changes are not the only factor shaping gene expression and phenotypes is neither new, nor unexpected. It has, in fact, been apparent for decades.

The molecular evolutionary rate measures the frequency with which DNA or protein sequence mutations are fixed (i.e., shared by most individuals) in a population. On the other hand, the mutation ...

DNA sequencing improved by slowing down EPFL scientists have developed a method that improves the accuracy of DNA sequencing up to a thousand times. The method, which uses nanopores to read ...

If the DNA nucleotide sequence is known except for some sites and uncertain portions, the analysis determines these sites and the accuracy of the sequence at the portions. This information may ...
